I can and do. Maybe YOU can be honest to say a band who you don't like is special or has talent but lots of people can't. We see it all the time in music, sport and other things. This is why you get people saying "Artic monkeys are the best live band around" what they mean to say is "artic monkeys are my favourite band and so when i see them play live or live on tv i get goosepimples" which isnt the same thing. Musician wise they aren't anything special and as i said previously Radio1 could make ANY band big if they wanted to.
i think the arctic monkeys are an awesome band and are a band i would pay over the odds to go and see. alex turner has got some talent there and they have one of the best drummers about at the moment.
If you think he has talent then fair enough but Matt Belamy has more talent in one ampit hair than Alex will ever have.
